Karin Valis on Magic and Artificial Intelligence – The Secret History of Western Esotericism Podcast (SHWEP)

A House with Many Rooms Interview 2

We are delighted to speak with Karin Valis, machine-learning engineer and esoteric explorer, on the vast subject of how the fields of artificial intelligence and magic overlap, intertwine, and inform each other. We discuss:

The uncanny oracular effects and synchronistic weirdnesses exhibited by large language models,

Conversations with ChatGPT considered as invocation,

AI as the fulfilment of the dream of the homonculus (with the attendant ethical problems which arise),

AI as the fulfilment of esoteric alphanumeric cosmologies (and maybe, like the Sepher Yetsirah, this isn’t so esoteric after all; maybe it’s just science),

And much more.

Interview Bio:

Karin Valis is a Berlin-based machine learning engineer and writer with a deep passion for everything occult and weird. Her work focuses mainly on combining technology with the esoteric, with projects such as Tarot of the Latent Spaces (visual extraction of the Major Arcana Archetypes) and Cellulare (a tool for exploring digital non-ordinary reality for the Foundation for Shamanic Studies Europe). She co-hosted workshops, talks and panel discussions such as Arana in the Feed (Uroboros 2021), Language in the Age of AI: Deciphering Voynich Manuscript (Trans-States 2022) and Remembering Our Future: Shamanism, Oracles and AI (NYU Shanghai 2022). She writes Mercurial Minutes and hosts monthly meetings of the occult and technology enthusiasts Gnostic Technology.

Works Cited in this Episode (roughly in the order cited):

The homonculus passage in the Pseudo-Clementines: Homilies 3.26; cf. Recognitions 2.9, 10, 13–15; 3.47.

Karin has a substack where she posts interesting things. Her recent essay Divine Embeddings is particularly relevant to the discussion of alphanumericism in the interview.

This is apparently getting memed in Italy. The combination of the self-centered whining with the fact that it's structured like this tell-all journalistic examination of the Problems With Today's Study Abroad Programs (The World Must Know) is wonderful.

" While NYU is famed for its foreign offerings in places like Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Berlin, Paris, and Shanghai, I opted for Florence, Italy, in the fall."

Translation: "While other people in my school and major are participating in journalism in politically fascinating places with cultures very different from my own, I went to a city in western Europe."

The Moons of Pluto (2021) András Cséfalvay & Lukáš Likavčan

Video 7:27 min

​​A collaborative work between visual artist András Cséfalvay and philosopher Lukáš Likavčan, The Moons of Pluto is an audiovisual commentary on the cosmological role of science. In the spirit of writer Sylvia Wynter, it recuperates the notion of the human as a storyteller and myth-maker as it surveys narratives about ancestrality and cosmic origins in the Western scientific-tradition, usually obscured by the modernist insistence on secular rationality. Elements of astronomy, physics, metaphysics and Earth-system sciences are enacted as planetological figures – the five moons of Pluto (Charon, Kerberos, Nyx, Styx, and Hydra) – whose stories weave together a web of associations that reflect on the cosmic background of the Western culture, and that of science as a discipline.

András Cséfalvay is a visual artist, digital storyteller, and mytho-poet from Bratislava, currently teaching at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava. He studied painting and mathematics and wrote a dissertation on the usefulness and reality of fiction. He delves into the relationship between culture and technology and the political and ethical aspects of listening to non-dominant voices in world interpretation. His latest works look at the relationship between astronomers and indigenous peoples in constructing the Mauna Kea telescopes, the flight of dinosaurs as a technology for survival after extinction, and the reclassification of the planet Pluto. He is a receiver of the Oskar Čepan Young Visual Artist Price, a member of The New Centre for Research and Practice, and a co-founder of the Digital Arts Platform at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava. Lukáš Likavčan is a Global Perspective on Society Postdoctoral Fellow and research affiliate at the Center for AI & Culture at NYU Shanghai. His areas of expertise cover philosophy of technology and environmental philosophy. He is the author of Introduction to Comparative Planetology (Strelka Press, 2019). Previously, Likavčan studied philosophy at Masaryk University and obtained his Ph.D. in environmental studies. He also held visiting research positions at Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University; faculty positions at Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture, and Design as well as the Center for Audiovisual Studies FAMU in Prague.

Snow Yunxue Fu's Artist Intro of Two Public Artworks LED Displays by Poly Art in City Centers of China, 2022 from Snow Yunxue Fu on Vimeo.

Hello there, my name is Snow Yunxue Fu, I am a new media artist based in New York City, and a professor at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. I am excited to share that my two artworks Submerged & Avalanche are showing in the City Centers of China on the public LED screens. I want to thank Poly Art and curator Qin Wu for this opportunity, and I am grateful that my work can be shown especially during the current times. The two pieces had both been previously shown at New York Times Square’s ZAZ 10TS LED Screens back in summer 2021.

The large scale outdoor LED screen showing Submerged is located at Hanjiang Road in Wuhan (武汉江汉路). Submerged is an immersive digital landscape painting made up of various moving virtual body parts. The fragments of the human bodies are textured with galaxy-like materials on them, and it hopes to underline the inter-connectivity that we all have with each other as human beings, especially in materialized matters and forms.

The indoor LED SCREENS showing Avalanche are located at Jing An Kerry Center in Shanghai (上海静安嘉里中心). Working with 3D scanned models and particle simulation effects of the snowfall, Avalanche is a 3D moving image artwork that illustrates the digital imaging version of the concept of “entropy”, originated from Land Art. In both works, I create scenes of experimental abstractions that translate the concept of liminality into the digital experience. The word liminal is often used to discuss the sublime within digital space, conjuring up notions of time, space, and perception, and echoing the experience of the sublime in nature.

I really appreciate Poly Art’s invitation by curator Qin Wu for showcasing my work in this way! - Poly Art is an art platform that is dedicated to provide professional art solutions for corporations, including strategic art planning, art purchase & leasing, art project execution and art portfolio management. As the Chinese pioneers advocating corporation’s engagement in the art scene, Poly Art holds a vision that art would be the solution for many corporate pursuits, such as culture building, business performance promotion, and social responsibility expressions. Finally I also want to give thanks to: Studio Assistants: Sara Roth & Ashley Liu Logo design assistant: Tonia Zhang And Video Editing assistant: Diego Lechuga Thanks everyone for checking out the artworks!
